I planned to order the Kompakt yesterday, but there was a payment error, so I ended up waiting until today so I could call my bank to approve the purchase. (Tragic, I know…) When I was about to order yesterday, everything went smoothly, the NA version of the phone was listed on the main website, I was able to add it to my cart and proceed to checkout, no problem. However, it was different today. When I go to the Mudita site and try to find the NA optimized version of the Mudita Kompakt, it is not listed on the site. To get around this, I tried a bunch of links on the reddit to find the NA optimized version. One link I found let me view the NA optimized version (I could tell from the URL and the description), but when I try to add it to my cart, it first prompts me to select which country I’m from. On that list, the United States is not listed, so I can’t add it to cart. I was somehow able to get around this by finally finding a link that didn’t make me select a country before purchasing. However, I tried to add the promo code of a Youtuber who did a review of the Kompakt, but it said the promo code is invalid. I then went to try a different Youtube reviewer’s code, for that one to not work either.
Both of these things made me feel a bit uneasy about purchasing… Has Mudita decided to not ship to the US after all due to tariffs? Or is there a reason the NA optimized one is excluded from the main website and promo codes? I didn’t want to accidentally purchase it if it weren’t being shipped anymore.
